SCA to Introduce Gravity Unicycle Class

We in the SCA are not ones to sit on our laurels. Having succesfully introduced Gravity Sidecar to the gravity racing community earlier this year, we immediately returned to our top secret research facility in deepest, darkest Aberdeenshire to start work on our next initiative. Having just completed testing, we are proud to introduce the newest addition to the gravity racing disciplines - Gravity Unicycle. Having proved the concept, we are now refining the technical specification and expect to be able to release the finalised version by the end of August, giving potential competitors the chance to build over the winter. We plan to be running the world's first Gravity Unicycle competition early in 2011.

Based on existing racing unicycle designs (see right), Gravity Unicycle offers an exciting new way in to the sport. Gravity unicycles are approximately half the price of a good gravity bike, and can be easily adapted from existing racing unicycles by simply removing the pedals and adding a brake. Gravity Unicycle will also be a great crowd pleaser as there is an opportunity for a crossover with the existing unicycling community (clowns, jugglers, fire breathers and other street performers). Who wouldn't be thrilled at the sight of clown hurtling down Cairngorm at 60mph. I know I would.
